COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Rep. Eric Bedingfield once shunned all marijuana use, but when his eldest son’s six-year struggle with opioid addiction ended with his overdose a year ago, the conservative Republican co-sponsored medical cannabis legislation. “My mindset has changed from somebody who looked down on it as a negative substance to saying, ‘This has benefits,’” Bedingfield said recently.

The examinations, X-rays and dry runs using a 3D model of her tiny spine all came down to this: A team of surgeons made a careful incision and, over the next six hours, systematically removed an extra pelvis, legs, feet and tiny toes that were protruding from her neck and back. Since birth, baby Dominique had been carrying her parasitic twin. “It's as if the parasitic twin dove into Dominique's body and almost made it in except for the waist out,” said John Ruge, director of pediatric neurosurg..>> view originalWhite Americans Are Dying From A Surge In 'Deaths Of Despair'
The trend began in the 1970s as high-paying union manufacturing jobs began disappearing to globalization and automation, hitting working-class whites particularly hard. In the USA, the number of deaths per 100,000 whites among this age group is more than 410. The data, outlined in a new paper by economists Anne Case and Nobel Prize victor Angus Deaton, shows death patterns for American whites sharply diverging from peers in Western Europe – particularly in what they dub “deaths of despair”, ..>> view originalMother of twin babies dies one day after their birth, following cancer battle

The biggest challenge is translating the technique to commercial manufacturing. Scientists have produced a few liters of blood in the lab, but there's a big difference between that and the massive volumes needed to serve even a single hospital. Although the UK's National Health Service is planning to trial artificial blood this year, this new technique won't be involved.As it is, you wouldn't likely see a wholesale switch to artificial blood even if this new method was ready for the real worl..>> view original
